CNN's Deborah Feyerick spent time looking at Syracuse's gang problem in a 3 minute, 30 second video posted Tuesday to the website of The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.

In the video, Feyerick focuses on Syracuse Truce, a project by federal, state, county and city law enforcement to tackle gang violence.

The choice presented to gang members: turn away from guns and get special assistance in rebuilding their lives. Or keep up the violence and risk going to federal prison if they or any of their gang members commits murder.

In the video, Feyerick was seen with the Gang Violence Task Force. There were photos of guns confiscated by police -- 30 seized in just the time it took to report the CNN story, she said.

There was footage from the first Operation Truce meeting. She spoke to a gang member worried about being charged with something another gang member did.

At the end of the video, Feyerick interviewed the program's coordinator, Sheria Dixon, who has $50,000 to coordinate services for the gang members looking to change their lives.

"These are some of the brightest individuals I have met," Dixon tells Feyerick in the interview. "They have made poor choices in life, yes, but that does not mean they need to be locked away. It doesn't mean that they can't be changed, that they can't be helped."
